Evidenced by the fact that I was playing it earlier today, it's not the OS that's the problem (I have a 32bit version, a 64bit version may still have problems).

[AntiAntiMatter]

So apparently Fallout 3 doesn't run on Windows 7 for some reason? Would've been nice to know that before I blew $12 on it this morning.

It's probably not an OS problem. There are many other things that could go wrong.

The fact that nobody seem to be able to make a spellchecker that fucking knows Swedish does not write apart words.

I'm afraid that'll spook it, but I guess there's probably no better option.

edit: I caught and released the thing. Now I feel bad because I released an invasive species back into the wild. There really was no good outcome to this.

That sucks man. :/

[Rilder]

I have no idea what's up my connection lately, especially today, its been off and on off and on, so fucking spotty that if it was any more rapidly changing I bet you could interpret it as bloody morse code. Might go ahead and contact my ISP soon if it continues this bullshit.

I'm just going to blame whoever introduced this species to North America.

VALVE STOP PUTTING GAMES ON SALE I WANT TO PLAY GAMES BUT YOUR SALES MEAN EVERYONE IS ONLINE MEANING STEAM IS SLOW. Gah.

A few things, first off, I won't be here over most of the summer, leaving for home in a week or two, this means I won't be using my shitty USB wireless internet. It's under contract (only way to get the student discount), the contract expires in early November I think, I won't be back here before October most probably. Here's the deal tho, it would cost me more to break the contract than to continue paying the damn thing untill the end, despite not being able to use it.

Another thing, this one quite a bit bigger.

I CURSE THE GOD DAMNED IDIOT THAT BUILT THIS FUCKING HOUSE TO AN ETERNAL HELL OF SLANTED FLOORS AND CLOGGED SEWAGE PIPES THE GOD DAMNED MOTHERFUCKER.

So, the house is slightly slanted to one side, most obvious when cooking, because the oil always goes to one side, another not so obvious (atleast not as oftenly) is that the bathroom is slanted in such a way that any water on the floor collects in front of the door, and not around the drain, which also connects to the bathtub drain, and is for some reason clogged, this means that if you take a shower now, the bathroom will flood and all the water will go away from the drain that will continue spewing stench, filth and more water.

It's also very hot, which means sweat, which means that rather frequent showers are required, but now, this isn't fucking possible.

Friend of mine has issues with his place too.  Thing is entirely made of concrete internal walls, and in portions even the ceilings of rooms seem to be and doesn't have any reasonable way to install ethernet.  He's fine with this though and he buys it, because it's a reasonable price.  And he did it when the housing market was down too, so he probably got a very good price on it.

Now however a year(probably more I have a terrible time keeping track of dates) later he finds out that the previous owner had a major leak in the washing machine plumbing, and that mold was growing on the walls.  The previous owner, instead of fixing the problem, appears to have simply ignored the leak, telling noone of it, and actually built another wall over the old wall.  My friend finally discovers the leak when it somehow floods the living room, and in the process of repairing the damage the old wall is found, and found to be 100% covered with mold by this point.


I was always under the impression that home inspectors were supposed to identify things like badly designed plumbing, or slanted buildings, or second walls built over old walls.  I guess both of you had inspectors that were just there to look good, and didn't do any actual inspecting.  I would think a crooked house if anything wouldn't conform to building codes.

[Karlito]

About two years ago my parents looked into saving money on the AC/heating bills, so they hired some folks who came in and figured out where the leaks were. Most of the problems they discovered were housing code violations: there was no insulation in the ceiling above my bedroom, for example, and some of the air ducts terminated in the attic rather than actually being connected to the outside. There were about 1,000,000 other homes going up in Vegas at the time the house was built, so I'm guessing the city simply didn't have the manpower to actually inspect them all properly. I bet a lot of municipalities have the same problem.

Onions. I swear, they're the epitome of dwarven creations since no god can be callous enough to create such things.

I can just imagine some nutter planting onion seeds in his backyard with the little buggers anxiously digging towards the seeds underground with big, mad and evil grins on their faces as if the seeds themselves acted as homing beacons to their beards. As they finally reach the seeds they substitute the seeds with their dwarven eldritch abominations and then proceed to collapse the nutter's house with a cave-in with the owner inside. When the dust settles and the nutter's impaled on the debris, the dwarves clear the area and obsidianize it. Then some other nutter finds the backyard and proceeds to build a house on top of the obsidian slab, picks up the onions and sells them so the lesser plebes can be perpetually tormented by the toxic fumes.

Rinse and repeat.

This was confusing gibberish of the most entertaining quality.  I rate it at 70% incoherence - a most exquisite purity.  I reward you, sir, with many internets and an approving "Wut."

[Yoink]

Ugh. So a surfer gets killed by a shark and the authorities decide it's a great idea to hunt it down and kill it.
Seriously, the guy's paddling around way out in the water, a shark takes offence and noms him, and suddenly everyone is horrified that it would do such a thing? Uh, it's a shark?
It's not like, gosh, there might be anything dangerous out in the middle of the fucking ocean!

Maybe it's because I'm tired, maybe it's because I'm insane, but every word of that made sense. The grammar and punctuation, however, could really use an upgrade.

Blame the movie Jaws. If they didn't go hunt it down, it'd be a PR disaster for local beaches and such.



Sharks don't usually like eating humans, though. Supposedly we taste nasty.
